Do c section and tummy tuck scars heal the same way?

December 31, 2014
Asked By:bmax in Australia, AU

I am considering a tummy tuck and it appears that the tt scars take a lot longer to heal than c section scars. I've not had a c section but the ones I've researched seem to fade quickly where as the tummy tuck scars appear red years later. If my TT scar was red two years after, could I have it revised it so it heals like a thin, white line?
